TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Express Messenger Shot and His
Safe Rlhed.

UTICA, N. Y, April 1.-"Telegraph
Hunt at Albany that / have been shot
and robbed" These were the words ut
tered by Express Messenger Lake, run
ming on train SO on the West Shore road,
which arrived in Utica at 1116 on the
night of March 90, when he was found
lying in his car bleeding freely from a
wound in his shoulder While the train
was making the run between Clark's
Mills and this city, which only occupies
seven minutes, a party of men boarded
it among the baggage and express cars,
shot the messenger and attempted rob-
berry, but with what result or how seri-
ously the man is injured could not be
learned, as a stop of only three minutes
was made here, and all was confusion.
The local expressman could not open the
door when the car reached here. and his
suspicious were aroused. He forced 1t
open and found the messenger wounded
as stated. When the train reached
Frankfort, nine miles east of here, Lake
was attended by physician. The would
be-robbers escaped, but it is believed
that they secured no plumber.
Later information is to the effect that
there was but one assailant He entered
the car and demanded the messenger to
throw up his hands. The latter did not
hear what he said and the robber shot
him. He then gagged and bound him,
and rifled thc safe of its contents, but the
amount secured is not yet known.

A MOnastic Navy.

According to a Russian newspaper, an an
gineer has just arrived at Motala, in Sweden,
to take over a steamer that is being built for
the monks Of Solovetsk. This vessel will
make the sixth steamer belonging to the
monks, who use them TO convey to their mon
astery the thirty thousand pilgrims that an
uually repair to the place. The monastery Is
situated on the largest Of the three islands
forming the Solovetsk. The island measures
fifteen miles in length by ten in breadth,
and is only accessible from the middle of
May until the middle Of September. During
this period steamers owned by the monks run
regularly TO Archangel and back, charging
very little for the double voyage, and In the
case OF very poor pilgrims nothing ct ALL
Each pilgrim, moreover, according to ancient
custom, is boarded and lodged for nothing at
Its shrine, solovetsl Is famous for its mines
of tale, large quantities Of which are imported
to Russia and abroad. A peculiar feature
about the Solovetsk steamers is that they are
all manned by monks and commanded by mon
astic captains. The mainmast Of each steam
er is surmounted by golden cross. In the
time OF Peter the Great the walls of the mon
astrey were defended BY ninety cannon, and
during a rebellion against the government
sustained a siege Of two years During the
Crimean war the monks claim TO have driven
of the English feet by firing some Of the old
cannon remaining and marching In process
sion round the monastery walls. Although
the fleet owned by the monks does not pay ex-
penses, the offerings Of the pilgrims make up
for the loss, the monastery being one OF the
wealthiest in Russia. At present the number
Of monks exceeds two hundred. -Enginesria9.

No Likelihood of War.

There Is no more likelihood Of war between
this country and England than there Is Of a
renewal of our own civil conflict We passed
through two disputes with that country, OF
real Importance, more than forty years ago,
aud we settled them both without fighting
To assume that In tho comparatively petty
point OF division that now exists there must
be q resort to arms, Is TO take ground that
both nations have grown unreasonable since
that time Every one knows that the reverse
is the fact. The spirit Of the age would be
against such conflict; the sober thought Of
both nations would not tolerate the thought
Of II. The issue involved is ludlcrously dis
proportional to settlement upon a basis In
volving so much loss and woe. Besides, Eng.
land has offered TO refer the dispute TO arbl.
tration. and this country could not stand for
q moment before the world as going to war
rather than accept arbitration under such cir
cumstances. This question will be settled as
ell other points OF difference have been be-
tween the two countries, and the difficulties
In the way OF such settlement are much less
than they have been In previous instances.
The United States Is In no danger Of going to
war with any nation, with England she has
